Fishinars
Fishinars are free webinars that will teach you the finer points of fish ID. These educational sessions are open to anyone wanting to learn more about marine life. They are great for new REEF surveyors or anyone who wants to review. We record all Fishinars and make them available online for viewing at any time. With more than 190 archived sessions, you can find one for every ocean region and every level of experience.

On World Oceans Day, we kicked our summer fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $70,000 by August 8! Will you support our citizen science, education, and research programs by donating today? All donations will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact for the oceans! What's more, if you initiate a new monthly recurring donation this summer, your first three months of gifts will be doubled!
The REEF Campus in Key Largo, Florida, remains closed to the public and all in-person programming is suspended until further notice, but that hasn’t slowed down our Ocean Explorers Programs. Over the last several months, our Education and Outreach team has remained focused on REEF's mission to engage and inspire the public. We recently made the difficult decision to suspend Ocean Explorers Summer Camp for 2020, but we are currently working to produce single day Explorers Programs for local families. More details on these programs will be posted on our website later this summer.
